Sometimes You Feel Like a Spicy, Savory Mixed Nut

18 Friday Dec 2020

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Gluten Free, Make Ahead, Nuts, Spices, Vegetarian

almonds, Cashews, egg white, kosher salt, maple sugar, maple syrup, peanuts, pecans, Spices, Walnuts, Worcestershire sauce

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_6967-2.jpgI received a jar of delicious mixed nuts for my birthday.  The Unbound Reader and Middle Son, we the source of this goodness.  These nuts (not the children!) were addictive.  I’m certain you noticed that past tense reference.  They were crisp, ever so slightly sweet and salty, with a really savory spice flavor.  Well, I thought it worthwhile to try and reproduce them in far greater quantity.  This is that experiment.  Continue reading →

Good Karma Lamb Korma

11 Saturday Apr 2020

≈ 2 Comments

Tags

almonds, diced tomatoes, Eggplant, fresh ginger, Greek-style yogurt, heavy cream, Lamb, lemon zest, olive oil, Spices

This version of Korma is not traditional.  I’ve added eggplant and lemon zest.  Feel free to omit both, but hand-to-heart, it won’t be as tasty…and at the Goddess’s abode, we’re all about tasty!  This Korma has particularly good Karma. Continue reading →

almonds, cheese, fruit, hard-boiled eggs, lettuce, olives, vegetables, vinaigrette

The Spaniards eat salad.  They eat salad communally.  It’s usually served with simple,  seasonal ingredients, on a large plate set in the middle of the table.  They splash on a good sherry or red wine vinegar and always, always, always their best olive oil drizzled over.  It’s a thing of beauty.  Continue reading →

Iberian Peninsula Braising Sauce

11 Thursday Oct 2018

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Beef, Gluten Free, Make Ahead, Spanish, Spices

≈ Leave a comment

Tags

almonds, beef broth, bell peppers, Bread, chuck steak, fresh herbs, Garlic, honey, olive oil, olives, Onions, plum tomatoes, sherry vinegar, Spices, white wine

Iberian Peninsula Braised BeefThis sauce is incredibly complex and absolutely delicious, with flavors leaning well into Spain and wandering just a bit into Portugal.  Sherry vinegar, smoked paprika, cinnamon, olives, orange and almonds are significant players in both countries, tracing their roots back to the Moorish habitation of the peninsula for some 700 years.  Make certain you have good bread to mop.  You don’t want to miss a drop!

Mexican Picadillo

13 Saturday Dec 2014

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Gluten Free, Latin Food, Main Course

≈ Leave a comment

Tags

almonds, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, Ground beef, Ground pork, onion

039Picadillo is an every day, comfort food sort of dish in most Latin cultures.  It’s relatively quick to prepare, can be eaten over rice, rolled into a flour tortilla or served in a corn tortilla, taco-style.  It has a rich, meaty essence with sweet-salty flavorings.  It can be made with either ground pork, ground beef, or as I’m doing it here, both.  The Latin Lover is Cuban-born  and he loves picadillo, Continue reading →
